// Applications //
Application Cycle One: 07/12/2010
Undergraduate college: University of Illinois - Champaign
Summary of Experience:
held for later review 9/14; would have been tough to pull off logistically. Still I would have loved the choice. UC was quite professional throughout the process. Good communication.
Summary of Experience:
No communication from them at all. I sent a couple updates. Reject date is a guess. Their app status site is down for this season and I never heard anything. Bizarro.
Summary of Experience:
SR 9/1/10; online status was updated sometime in December. No email, no letter. After very strong work in Loyola\'s post bacc program, good recs from Loyola profs, and research at their cancer institute, this one stung. Finally got an email reject letter 4/28/11. Sheesh
Summary of Experience:
Good impression of school from local reputation and from information day as a post-bacc. Scores weren\\\'t up to snuff, I\\\'m guessing. Would have been a good option. Nice email note on rejection.
Summary of Experience:
LOR requested 8/21/10. Cool. LOR received 8/27; II 10/07/2010;IA 11/15 Amazing! I could do so much good from here. Alternate status 3/7/2011. Wow! Still in the game. Not holding out much hope, but it would a dream come true.
Summary of Experience:
II 9/17/2010;IA 11/15 3 good interviews. Happy students, great opportunities, excellent school, Final decision status 11/18; ACCEPTED 11/24!!! Yeah! Looks like I\'m a once and future Illini. mid-March sweet financial aid package makes this all the better
Summary of Experience:
small pooled 9/21; II 10/2/2010, ia 11/3. Positive experience. Mixed facilities, good people, great opportunities; Could have had a great experience here. But cost and perhaps better opportunity at UIC tilted the scales.
spiderpete took the old MCAT and scored a 32 which is in the 88th percentile of all old scores.
We converted this to a 513 on the updated scale which is in the 89th percentile of the updated MCAT. We also converted spiderpete’s section scores as follows:

spiderpete scored a 10 on the Physical Science section of the old MCAT which is approximately equal to a 127 on the Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems.
spiderpete scored a 11 on the Verbal Reasoning section of the old MCAT which is approximately equal to a 129 on the Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills.
